Division operator (binary): performs numeric division.

<nValue1> / <nValue2>

<nValue1> is a numeric expression whose value is the numerator of the division.

<nValue2> is a numeric expression whose value is the denominator of the division. <nValue2> cannot be 0 (zero).

The division operator divides the value of <nValue1> by the value of <nValue2> and returns the result of the operation.

   ?  4 - 2  / 10                   // result: 3.80
